Lets get this back in the public eye and force the laws and regs to be enforced.
Excellent. Thanks.
Hey, if you have another minute, maybe you could give Mike Banyas a call, too... 850-410-9823. The Florida Office of Finance and Regulation (OFR) needs to know we haven't given up, IMHO. Let's keep up the pressure.
will drop her a note to see if she's interested
Art... I emailed Carol Remond today, asking if she would consider revisiting GVRP. I included the Bidville PR in my email, plus Michael Banyas' phone number, hoping she could pursue Florida's investigation. Any chance you might write her and ask if she could pursue GVRP again? You seemed to have a good rapport with her, if I recall correctly. I figure the more visibility, the better--maybe she might consider doing a thorough exposé, this time around?
BTW, did you try calling Banyas last week?
Bill... does any of this FL law apply...
to our situation?

thanks again
-anywho
It would probably take a few days to get enough people.
Why don't we plan on starting it next Monday if we have enough people?
I can do the 11AM slot
GVRP: *** Signup list to NAG SEC/NASD/Florida ***
Please add you name and post an alias and an hour you wish to contact regulators.
PS. I am driving from Florida to Texas tomorrow starting at 11AM so will be unavailable for the rest of the business week.
At this point either PUBLICITY or a LAW SUIT appears to be required to force the SEC to do THE RIGHT THING.
The suggestion that regulators take a long time seems to carry less and less credibility.
Seems a LAW SUIT may be needed to:
a) force the SEC to undo their suspension of the net capital rule
b) force regulators to cause brokers to comply with the daily list rule and not simply RS a stock because the TA says to.
It is a VERY SAD DAY when REGULATORS MUST BE SUED to FORCE THEM TO DO THEIR JOB.
Maybe some of the DEEP pockets in this can shell out some pocket change (for them) to cause a FAIR and JUST resolution.
WE learn from THEIR mistakes
Too bad the bastages at the SEC didn't force a PAIV here... may they burn in hades.
make a list ;)
Be nice if he'd take a look. Cuban's publication should have some clout.
lol, I can think of dozens of others I could recommend to Carey...
ok, great. nevermind any shareholder approval issues, lol
Bidville, Inc. Acquires DigiKidz, Inc. [GDVJQSY]
BOCA RATON, Fla., July 5, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Bidville, Inc. (Pink Sheets:BVLE), an innovative and growing Internet auction company and an alternative to eBay, has announced today that it has completed its acquisition of DigiKidz, Inc., a south Florida producer and marketer of personalized DVD products for children, and owner and operator of the Internet e-commerce website, www.digikidz.com. The pending transaction was announced March 21, 2006.
As an Internet marketer with strong strategic distribution alliances in place, the acquisition of DigiKidz is anticipated to increase Bidville's annual revenue and assist it in generating increasing earnings. Terms of the final agreement were not disclosed, however, the agreement called for Bidville to issue shares of its common stock in addition to a common stock purchase warrant in exchange for majority control of DigiKidz. DigiKidz, as planned, will operate as an independent subsidiary of Bidville and will continue to be managed by its senior management.
Based in new facilities in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., with manufacturing and fulfillment operations in Cooper City, Fla., just outside of Ft. Lauderdale, DigiKidz proprietary product line is sold online and through "brick and mortar" retail in the U.S. and Canada, and features personalized English and Spanish language animated stories for children on DVD.
"We are delighted to have concluded the acquisition of DigiKidz, Inc., because of its strong following of family customers, and its many strategic marketing alliances that reach into the family marketplace nationwide," stated Brian Schuster, Bidville's Chairman. He added, "We believe that DigiKidz will become a vital, vibrant part of Bidville that will help us significantly both strategically and financially."
About DigiKidz, Inc.
DigiKidz, founded in 2004, is an Internet marketer of personalized products for children. In 2005 it began to focus its sales and marketing efforts on a new proprietary line of twelve (12) personalized animated video adventure stories, and also produced its first entertaining, but educationally-oriented, DVD for toddlers. In late 2005, its proprietary product lines entered into several mass market distribution tests (both online and "brick and mortar") that have provided key strategic alliances, insights and distribution opportunities that DigiKidz will leverage in 2006.
About Bidville, Inc.
Bidville, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was founded in 1999 as an Internet auction alternative to eBay. The company provides unique user features, such as Storefronts, Watch Lists, Image Gallery, and fixed price listing options. Bidville is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, U.S.A.

That is old news that was discovered about a month ago. What is OUTRAGEOUS is the crap the NASD?SEC spins about investor confusion.
PLAIN AND SIMPLE - REGULATORS WERE CONFUSED AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. THEY STILL DON'T.
PERHAPS THE SEC AND NASD CAN EXPLAIN WHY AN INVESTOR WHO SOLD FORWARD SPLIT SHARES HAD TO WAIT 30 FULL DAYS TO HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE FUNDS.
HOW DOES THAT RELATE TO "INVESTOR CONFUSION" ?
IT DOES NOT, IT RELATES TO "REGULATORS BEING CONFUSED AND DEBATING WHAT SHOULD BE DONE. FINALLY, AFTER 30 DAYS, THE DECISION CAME DOWN THAT WHILE A RESOLUTION WAS WORKED ON THOSE THAT SOLD HAD TO BE GIVEN THEIR FUNDS.
Ya The Sec royally screwed us
yeah, I know. frikkin sat out PAIV, based on all these previous screwings by the regulators..... coulda bought it at .0006 but passed....lol ugh.
well I got lucky with GLKCE and PAIV and now HRRP on split screw ups
maybe GVRP will work out
of course they're aware of it, remember the no-action letter back on June 16th, 2005 >>> http://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/mr-noaction/nasd061605.pdf
Of course susan deMando won't say a word about this... or about BCIT when asked..
They know they're in the wrong here, and just stonewalling because they can.
SEC may actually be awre of situation?? Wowow that indicates YES
yeah, that's about GVRP alright...found something similar to that a while ago..
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=10458396
It does sound very familiar.
On pages 9- 10 here in this link anyone think they are talking about GVRP?
http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/nasd/2006/34-53920.pdf
GVRP I got burned on - PAIV and now HRRP I did well on and of course GLKCE I did very well on

Sheesh, when will the drama ever end? lol
And on the anniversary we have another screwup in PAIV LOL restricted shares are being sold - some brokers show then restricted per the split and others do not .
Wow, what a roller coaster ride that was last year. Turned a couple grand into 250K only to see it worth nothing after that :(
